Humes said: “I am buzzing to become a part of the Kiss family and cannot wait to be back on the radio sharing music that I love with listeners. “It’s such a brilliant way to connect with people and to able to do that on a station I’ve always loved and listened to, it’s an honour.” After enjoying success with boy band JLS, who had five number one singles, Humes ventured into radio and TV presenting.
